1.Move the throttle lever back to medium or low idle speed.

2.Move the front power take-off clutch lever (forward) to the engaged position

(rearward) to the disengaged position. See

Illusts. 3 or 4 ond 13A.

Note: It is recommended that the clutch lever be placed in the forward or engaged position when the tractor is being used with- out front power take-off equipment.

ADJUSTINGTHE CLUTCH

The clutch is factory adjusted and should not require further adjustment under normal

operating conditions. However, if clutch slippage should occur. It is recommended

that you see your International Harvester

dealer for satisfactory servicing of the clutch,

as special equipment and instructions are

required.

After considerable clutch use, it may be necessary to readjust the button clearance as described below to assure proper clutch dis-

engagement.

With the clutch fully engaged (clutch lever in the forward position) place a piece of thin cardboard (match book cover) approximately 1/64 inch thick between the engaging lever wear button IIAII and the pressure spring thrust button IIBII (1IIust. 13), loosen the jam nut

on the turnbuckle lIC't(1IIust. 13A),and adjust the turnbuckle until a light drag is felt on the cardboard when it is removed from between the buttons. Be sure all slack, except the 1/64 inch adjustment, is out of the linkage. Then, tighten the jam nut securely against the

turnbuckle.

INSTALLINGAND REMOVINGDRIVE BELT

To install or remove the drive belt, loosen the clutch lever bolt enough so the lever can be moved forward to provide sufficient belt clearance between the engaging lever wear button "A" and the pressure spring thrust button "B", s..lllust.13.

After installing a new belt, move the clutch lever back onto the clutch lever latch and tighten the bolt. SeeIllust. 13.
